iCON V1-M & V1-X Setup for Cubase (Bjoulc Script)
This guide provides the essential steps to configure your iCON V1-M and V1-X extenders in Cubase using the Bjoulc MIDI Remote Script. This setup utilizes a single script file to control all your devices.

I. Setup Overview
-
Single Script: Use one
icon_v1_m.jsfile for all devices. -
Central Config: This single file's
devicesarray defines your entire V1-M/V1-X chain. - Hardware ID: Set unique "extender numbers" on each V1-X hardware unit.
- Specific Folder: Place the script in a precise Cubase directory.
II. Installation Steps
1. Download Script
- Get
icon_v1_m.jsfrom Bjoulc GitHub Release Page. Save it.
2. Edit Script File (One File)

-
Open:
icon_v1_m.js. -
Find:
devices: ["main"], -
Modify: List all V1 units, left-to-right.
